Wednesday, August 7
So, 20 minutes or so after our alarms went off every
morning, we were often visited by this bee. It is the silliest, bumbliest bee I
have ever seen. It was almost comical in its roundness and apparent idiocy. It
would fly into our bedroom in the morning, bumble (quite literally) about the
ceiling and whatnot, get confused, and eventually remember where the door was and fly back out. I see him out on the
balcony every time I do laundry, bumbling optimistically about my floral print
skirts that are hanging on the line.
He's adorable. And an idiot. I decided to name him Bumbly
Bumpkins.

As for class, it was infinitely long today. I can't even describe
it. The hours dragged on into days, the days into weeks.

| Me during class. |
Part of the reason class feels so long is because I'm at
severe disadvantage from my classmates. Except for classes about the Arabic language,
I have not had any of these Middle Eastern classes about politics and history
that they've all had for the past 2-3 years. I've also not had an economics
class since before the recession of 2008. I had to explain to my
professors why I talk so little in class when we talk about politics and world
issues because I live under a rock, apparently. But yeah, they understood... I
think.
The rest of the day was normal. I did a bit of shopping,
bargained for good prices, and got some sweet stuff. (It seems like I'm
spending a lot of money, but really, everything is cheap here. Comparatively
speaking.)
